View Full Version : Breivik found sane and sentenced to 21 years

Should have been life but so long as he's locked up I guess. Part of me wanted an insanity verdict because it would hurt him personally (his absurd ego and delusions of grandure) and be a way of saying these kind of acts, and the beliefs that fuel them, are...well, crazy.
A Norwegian court has found that mass killer Anders Behring Breivik is sane and sentenced him to 21 years in jail.
Breivik admitted killing 77 people and wounding more than 240 others when he bombed central Oslo and then opened fire at an island youth camp last year.
He insisted he was sane and refused to plead guilty, seeking to justify his attacks by saying they were necessary to stop the "Islamisation" of Norway.
Prosecutors had called for him to be considered insane.
The five judges were unanimous in ruling that Breivik was sane.
He was convicted of terrorism and premeditated murder, and given the maximum sentence of 21 years' imprisonment.
However, that can be prolonged at a later date if he is deemed to remain a danger to society.

The Norwegian legal system doesn't allow life sentence per se, but after the 21 years has passed the sentence can be be prolonged every five years, as long as it's considered necessary. So in practice it's really going to be a lot more than just 21 years for Breivik.

Breivik clearly isn't insane. He believed insane things but the political climate in Europe is accepting its basic premise of Islam as a severe threat to western societies. He only drew a logical conclusion from his deranged beliefs and planned it over great time and with great care for detail.
Breivik can be released after 10 years but that - like the question whether his sentence will be increased after 21 years - depends on a psychiatric evaluation. It is unlikely that he will ever leave prison since his beliefs are set in stone. However if he changes his ways and can no longer be seen as a danger to society he will be able to be released.
By the way I think the Norwegian legal system is very civilised for a bourgeois system. I like the fact that the principle is that everyone should be able to get out of prison. The whole "life without parole" thing Americans have seems a little too much like western movie justice to me.

Yeah and if Breivik had been a muslim he would have never been acchshed of having mental illness.
Also its higly offensive to people who suffer from mental illnessess when a serious subject like this is triviliazed to justify vile actions of a man.
If breivik had been a arab and a muslim nobody would have doubed his sanity , but when its a white christian everybody tries to blame it on something else then the person himself.
Im thankful he was judge sane because i was scared if he would have been judged insane it would increase the stigiamzation of people suffering from mental illnesess

A fair point, I was just saying I wish there was some way that his beliefs (not his actions) could be dismissed and forgotten about but I see your point about an inapproriate label of 'insanity'.

It takes away from the nature of what he did to simply just portray him as mentally ill, when he clearly isn't. Ordinary people are capable of doing horrific things, and this is a clear cut example thereof.
It's very easy to downplay Breivik's ideology if everybody can just say, "he's not mentally well, don't worry about it". Everybody wants to ignore that this was a man motivated by religion & xenophobia, yet were he of middle eastern or african descent they certainly would not be doing so.

Killing 77 people and having no remorse for it is not the sign of an "ordinary person". Sociopathy exists. Yes he might be "accountable" but that doesn't mean he isn't completely nuts as well.
21 years (recurring) sounds fair, for the sake of public safety. But he should be on some form of psychiatric evaluation.

Actually, the way I got it is that the sentence can be extended by another 5 years, twice. So, the maximum sentence would be 31 years in total.
But I'm hardly an expert of Norwegian criminal law.

There are other norwegiens who have basically been had life sentences but under the guise of 21years with reviews afterwards. One of them may have been a Soviet spy in the 1980s, but cannot remember his name.

Surely you don't, but I think learning ideology from shady blogs has more to do with it than his family. Class background may have played a role, though, as he's grown up in a fairly isolated, well-off part of Oslo, that breeds, if not fascists, at least prejudices in large quanta.
What's interesting to observe in the Norwegian (and probably international) media, is how toned-down his anti-marxism is. When he was arrested he said he was a representative of "the norwegian anti-marxist resistance", however in the media this has often just been reproduced as "the norwegian resistance". His anti-marxism may even be of greater importance to his ideology than his "counterjihadism".
Anti-marxism and "counterjihadism" are clearly not mental illnesses, so I'm relieved the court sentenced him as they did.

I'm not sure about the internet thing, but I don't think he has internet access. If he wants to write his autobiography or another "manifesto" that no one will publish, let him. If he can contact ideological fellows or maybe even other cells, which he claims exist but probably don't, that's a bigger problem. I don't see how workout machines or "normal chairs" is so enraging, though. What, should we lock him up in a medieval castle and chain him, or stick his head on a spike? Come on.

Yes. He killed 77 people. He attacked a youth camp he ruined 69 young lives. He killed young left wing multiculturalist followers. Can you imagine their fear. He was fucking playing and hunting them. They were innocent they just hanged out there. Think of all their families and parents that buried their children. He is evil and he has proven it. He needs to be punished for the monstrous acts he has done. They should make him feel sorry for what he has done and wish he never done it. The monster needs to suffer.

Execution rarely makes people truly sorry for what they did, it just makes them regret they got caught. Being imprisoned however forces them to think about their actions everyday for years on end, which can lead to actual remorse.

What good will any of this do? Will it bring back his victims or lessen the pain of their families? no.
On the other hand would it put the power to openly and legitimately torture prisoners in the hands of the state? Yes it would. Now I don't think that's a good idea but maybe you can explain how it is.

I personally do not feel that a person's humanity should ever be stripped away from them, no matter what they've done. The prison conditions in many countries are fucking disgusting and that Norway has a good prison system is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing. That prisoners in the US for example have their humanity almost completely stripped away from them and treated like subhumans because they've committed a crime is reprehensible.
All this emotional bullshit about "oh he's a monster" "oh, he needs to die" "oh, he needs to suffer" is all well and good but you're really damn hypocritical if your answer to human suffering caused is to perpetuate MORE human suffering.

Yo it is definitely moralism to say "It is a dumb idea for communists to act as cheerleaders for the state when they want to execute a person".
But shit lets forget we are communists for a minute (shouldn't be a leap for all y'all who are acting big on the internet with this chest thumping law and order bullshit haha) and look at the fact that Brevik wanted and in fact demanded the death penalty. He wanted/wants to be a martyr. That is why people like him do these things in the first place. He didn't think he was going to cleanse Norway of the mulitcultural/cultural marxist devils he sees around every corner. People who use violence like this do it to create a spectacle and a mystique. Brevik did this and surrendered and wanted to be executed.
Instead they treated him like another 'common criminal' depriving him of his mythic image and martyrdom.

But for the sake of science i would support psychiatric evaluation in order to learn something from him.
After his continued existence has proven to be useful he should be executed.

Revenge is the only reason to kill him at this point. In all honesty I don't care what happens to him, but killing prisoners like this to appease bloodlust sets a bad precedent.

There's always a chance of escape or release.
Look at this other shining example of Norwegian "rehabilitation"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes
In 1994, Vikernes was convicted of the murder of his Mayhem bandmate Øystein Aarseth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euronymous), known by his stage name Euronymous. Vikernes was further convicted of four counts of arson involving the burnings of historic churches, and was sentenced to 21 years in prison. Having served almost 16 years of his sentence, Vikernes was released on parole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parole) in early 2009.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-3)
In a 2010 interview with "Vampiria" Magazine Spain (18-03-2010) Vikernes was asked about Odinism playing a major role in his life, to which he responded:
"Well, I am not religious in any way, but I have a Pagan ideology and Pagan values. I believe in blood, soil and honour; family, homeland and hamingja (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamingja); strength, traditions and courage. And I believe in a Europe waking up."[49] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-48)
Vikernes now embraces a "modern scientific worldview resting on a foundation made up of the Pagan values and ideals: loyalty, wisdom, courage, love, discipline, honesty, intelligence, beauty, responsibility, health and strength."[51] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-bards8-50) He draws a direct connection between both race and intelligence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence) and intelligence and religion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_and_religion), denouncing theism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theism) as "mental enslavement" fit only for "inferior races".[51] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-bards8-50)
Vikernes stated in an interview, "They [the Norwegian government at the beginning of World War II] ran like chickens, leaving Norway, with absolutely NO authorities, and when Vidkun Quisling tried to bring order back, he was thanked with a bullet in his heart after the war."[60] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes#cite_note-60)

Letting Brevik live with what he did is a much harsher punishment than the state turning him into a martyr. I highly doubt he will have the same view towards his actions after 20- 30 years in prison. Also, it won´t be easy for him to get back into society after 20 years in prison and after what he did. So the fitting punishment I´d say is to let him live and release him from prison with a burden of guilt on top of being despised by his fellow citizens.

Yes but the possibility of escape is present and life long prison sentences are inhumane.
If you had life imprisonment you would have absolutely nothing to lose if you tried to escape even if it means killing the guards and the people unfortunate enough to cross your path after your out.
I would consider death preferable as a way to protect society.
What exactly could be learned that would benefit society as a whole?
I don't know but clearly he is different and that is something that could be studied.
I think the fact that he's in prison should be enough. Revenge is the only reason to kill him at this point. In all honesty I don't care what happens to him, but killing prisoners like this to appease bloodlust sets a bad precedent.
I consider him dangerous like a rabid dog he wont be rehabilitated because he doesn't want to.
Keeping him around is not going to be of any use to society instead that means they keep a threat alive while he could be easily disposed off.

Yes but the possibility of escape is present and life long prison sentences are inhumane.
I don't really see how the death penalty could be any more humane than life imprisonment.
If you had life imprisonment you would have absolutely nothing to lose if you tried to escape even if it means killing the guards and the people unfortunate enough to cross your path after your out.
I would consider death preferable as a way to protect society.
I assume he's in a maximum security prison. I don't think escape is a big concern.

If he won't be rehabilitated, he should be held indefinitely. Like #FF0000 said, his execution would set a bad precedent. If they get away with killing this guy, they'll be able to kill others. Even if he is a threat incarcerated (which I seriously doubt) killing him still isn't worth it.

I love how you talk about "inhumane" and then later on go on to say you consider him to be like a dog, and then further reinforce your lack of concern for what is humane by simply referring to him as a "threat to be disposed of".
IF you think humans should be treated with dignity, you can't go around calling them subhuman or characterising them as merely "things to be disposed of" when they do something that doesn't jive with society's expectations.

The cost going to keep him alive could go to starving kids somewhere, that is the only reason I would support offing him. He's not insane, he's just a fucking Nazi sociopath. He's never going to be safe to have roaming around free, which is different than most people on death row, for psychiatric reasons. On those grounds I would support a low cost way of keeping him alive, i.e. a work camp. However keeping him alive in a max secutiry institution (which isn't really necessary. All you need is a door, lock, and some food honestly) means profits for the prison owning capitalists.
Put him at work in constructing something for an immigrant community in Norway, or something that will shame him and the rest of the Nazi fucks that are surging worldwide as of lately. Petit Bourgeois Nazi trash are different cases than most murderers, who are either mentally unstable or too poor to avoid crime.
